The heart of awareness

You are pure Awareness
The witness of all things
You are awareness itself
Never changing

The Self is in all beings
And all beings are in the Self
Know you are free

In you the world arises
Like waves in the sea

It is true!
You are awareness itself
You are the Self
You are God

The body is confined by its natural properties
It comes, it lingers awhile, it goes
But the Self never comes nor goes
You are pure awareness

You and the world are one
You cannot change or die
You are the clear space of awareness
You are one and the same

You are in whatever you see, you alone
Just as a bracelets and bangles
Are all of the same gold

Know, that everything is the Self
And be happy

You alone are real
There is no one,
not even God separate
from yourself.

The world is an illusion, nothing more
When you understand this fully
You find peace, for indeed there is nothing
In the ocean of being there is only One
There was and there will be only One

You are already fulfilled,
How can you be bound or free?
Once and for all give up meditation

You are the Self and you are free
